Our new DVR definitely does some things better than our old one (mostly, it works), but it does have some weird quirks. For example, it claimed to still be recording New Girl tomorrow. But Fox switched it up and extended X Factor another half hour so New Girl isn't on. The guide reflected that, but our recording list didn't update to remove it. Our old DVR probably would have told us "conflict!" because it would switch the recording to X Factor and it would intelligently decide that we must have wanted that 2 hour show. But this one acted as if New Girl were still there. I specifically reloaded that day on the guide, but no change. I had to remove it myself. Odd.
However, it's really nice to have the "show will delete in x hours" notice again. Our old DVR box didn't do that for some unknown reason and we never knew what it was really thinking about how full it was. It's nice to get the little red triangles.
It's also nice that there is only one hour to record tonight - Ringer (we have still only seen the pilot, so not sure if we are sticking with it yet). Can catch up on shows we need to watch on demand!
